Another overheating thread

[outta.service]

Hello [Overclockers] World,

I need a better cooler asap, as even now CPU temperatures reaches 90'C during listening to music, ONLY. :/
o.O
I thought of Mars RR-CCX-W9U1-GP, but I would like your opinion.

MB: ASUS P5Q
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E7200 @ 2.53GHz

I'd also like to overclock the CPU afterwards, so...... any suggestions?

I thought of that as well [cleaning the paste and putting new one], but beside this master overheating, I find this cooler too noisy... even back in the days when it used to work ok. I always had to go to BIOS and set it to silent, or else I wouldn't be able to sleep with it working.

Budget is <30€, so I'm thinking whether I'll be able to find something to be smooth and good with that money, or just I'll have to wait a little bit and spend some more on the stuff that not only will work good, but will last ...you know...

The case is cleaned 2 weeks ago and one side is fully open. Yeah, fans are spinning... Now I think that maybe that paste I put on was bad quality. But I messed with GPU cooler as well, and it seems that it doesn't have a problem with it.

Temperatures
Motherboard 45 °C (113 °F)
CPU 37 °C (99 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #1 49 °C (120 °F)
CPU #1 / Core #2 52 °C (126 °F)
GPU Diode 57 °C (135 °F)
Seagate ST3500320AS 44 °C (111 °F)



And I don't know how I managed to silent the old spinner
We'll see if something changes in the meantime, but changing the thermal paste and cleaning the fan obviously helped [I'm back online].... so there's no need for a new cooler.

I'll save momo's suggestion for future anyways.

Thank you guys, you're the best!
